# Internal Chat The **Internal Chat** is a live execution, testing, and inspection environment built directly into the Agent Builder.\ It allows you to interact with your Agent using the **exact same configuration, reasoning engine, tools, and provider** that will be used in production. More than a chat interface, the Internal Chat is designed for **debugging, validation, and deep inspection** of Agent behavior before deployment. *** ### What You Can Do With the Internal Chat #### Test Real Agent Behavior The Internal Chat runs your Agent exactly as it would run in production.\ You can use it to: * Validate how the **Prompt** behaves in real conversations * Test how **Temperature, Effort, Planning, and Reasoning** affect responses * Verify how **Conditional Prompts** are triggered * Adjust tone, flow, and instructions safely before publishing *** #### Send Rich Inputs The Internal Chat supports full interaction testing, including: * Text messages * **Images** * **Audio files** * **Documents and attachments** This allows you to simulate real-world user behavior and test how your Agent handles different input types. *** #### Inspect Every Message and Execution Step Each Agent response can be fully **inspected**. Using the inspection view, you can: * See the **execution timeline** of the response * Inspect every **iteration** performed by the Agent * View tool calls, inputs, and outputs * Understand how the Agent reasoned and which resources were used * Analyze the complete **execution pipeline** that generated the response This level of visibility makes it easy to debug unexpected behavior and optimize complex flows. *** #### View Credit Consumption The Internal Chat displays **credit usage per execution**, allowing you to: * See how many credits each response consumes * Compare different models, reasoning modes, or settings * Optimize cost before deploying to production > ⚠️ **Important:** Using the Internal Chat **does consume credits**, exactly like production conversations. *** #### Manage Conversation History The Internal Chat includes full conversation management tools: * **Clear the current conversation** to start fresh tests * Access a **complete history** of past interactions * Restore previous conversations by date and time This allows you to revisit older tests, compare behaviors over time, and reproduce specific scenarios. *** ### Why the Internal Chat Matters The Internal Chat allows you to: * Iterate safely without affecting users * Debug complex Agent logic with full transparency * Validate production behavior before publishing * Optimize performance, cost, and reliability It is the **primary tool for building high-quality, predictable Agents** in Zaia Endless. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
